Mexico City is a place where tradition meets modernity. And as one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, the city can easily overwhelm visitors with things to see and do. It offers seemingly endless numbers of quaint streets, fascinating museums, amazing restaurants, historic buildings and archaeological sites to explore.
Divergent influences intertwine in Mexico City, creating a truly unique experience for visitors. The impressive remains of precolonial culture exist side-by-side with colonial era churches and modern buildings. Sightseeing options are numerous, with everything from botanical gardens, plazas, street cafes and local markets to art exhibitions, museums and Aztec ruins.

One of the best ways to see the city is to walk. Take your time and stroll the tranquil cobblestone streets while enjoying the colonial architecture, beautiful gardens and public fountains.

Mexico City’s National Anthropology Museum is a great place for those interested in Mesoamerican culture and history, as it has the largest collection of Mesoamerican artifacts in the world. The main Aztec site, Templo Mayor, is an ongoing archaeological dig right next to the magnificent Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, both worth seeing as well.
